Saints of the True Covenantis a multi-MMORPG guild with a 20-year history (founded in the fall of 1997), and we are in this for the long-term. We started as Saints of the True Cross in Diablo and became Saints of the True Covenant in Ultima Online. Many of our officers and members have been with STC for approaching ten years, and we are proud of this history.

We accept members at all levels, and set no play or attendance requirements. We let you do what you want at your pace so you can play your game. We are not a hardcore raiding guild but we do raid and raid participation is always optional. On nights we are not in a raid we are usually running dungeons, questing, tradeskilling, or just having fun.

You are welcome to poke around the website and learn a bit more about us, drop us a note, or request membership. Many of our members play a variety of games, however, World of Warcraft and Star Wars: The Old Republic are our current Sanctioned Chapters.

Welcome to the January WOW meeting. Thank you all for attending this meeting.

January is a special meeting month as we have our Annual March of Memories. We take this time to reflect on those that have passed on from this world. This is not limited to Saints and can be about someone important to you in real life. Please don't be shy and share your memories of loved ones with us. This year at the end of the meeting, we will march our here in the basement in Stormwind Cathedral to the Deeprun Tram and then to the gates of Iron Forge.

I also wanted to bring up something important that I missed this past year. STC celebrated her 20th anniversary last year around October. This is a tremendous accomplishment that STC as a guild has lasted this long. I've only been here 9 years and there are others who have been here much longer. If you peruse the website, you will see also see long term members who were a part of the beginnings of STC who do not play WOW post from time to time. I'd like to recognize that in this day of gaming, it's amazing that through so many years, trials and tribulations... STC has remained a thriving guild. There were times, it was a small, sturdy group of players and other years it was a robust base for many players. I'm proud to have been a part of STC and hope that all of you enjoy the camaraderie we share in this guild and currently in WOW.

We have seen an uptick in new members which I think is wonderful. I appreciate new people who can bring their experiences and joys of playing with them to STC. We want to focus on the person behind the toon, not how well anyone plays. We want members who have an appreciation for working as a team and realize that while we are not going to be the best raid or pvp team, we try and have fun together. I hope that in this start of a new year that we continue to build and grow as individuals but also a a group with common goals. We treat our fellow members with respect and extend that to our fellow player. Yes, I know there can be players out there who do not share STC's ideals of respect, but we must behave in a manner that represents ourselves well and STC as a whole.

Raiding:

The raid team has completed the first 10 bosses of Antorus. We really struggle with the Coven for a bit, but finally got it down. We're on to the last boss in Antorus and hopefully with a few more attempts, we can get him down. As we have gotten more attempts at bosses, we have move through quite quickly. I'm seeing people receive upgrades that help them individually and the team prosper. Please keep on working to improve your gear and concordance levels to help the team.

Greater Invasions and new quests available in the Antorus Raid are other ways to improve gear. Also please work on upgrading your legendaries to Item Level 1000 for additional buffs.

After we defeat Normal on Antorus, the initial thought is to keep farming Normal to help new members and raiders who are a bit behind gear up and also start working on Heroic bosses. The Heroic fights have additional mechanics and will definitely be significantly harder than Normal. I'd like to receive some feedback from the raiders on their goals. Also, if you're planning on attending raids, let us know the best night as we can change "farming" nights from Thursdays to Sundays to help the team get upgrades.

As a side note, Bana has started a group on Mondays for fun. This can be anything from Anotorus to older content. Bana is looking for honest input and feedback of what you as members would like to run. He can't decide it on his own and would like you all to speak up. If it's an alt night, then do we have enough Alts for Antorus? This could even be an alternative night for Normal runs for Alts and Mains who can't make the other raid nights. It can be for achievement runs in order content. It can be for the Heroic kills we haven't finished in the Nighthold, Trial of Valor, and Tomb of Sargeras. Please, please, please help Bana out and give him some input so that he can help serve you, the members who are interested.

Welcome to the December WOW meeting. This is the time of year where schedules become a little difficult not just for raiding but for group activities. The good thing, we've started a new raid (more to come), and we've had an influx of novices. With the holidays and the new year approaching, it's a good time to reflect on the past year. STC as a whole has been busy with many people enjoying the Legion expansion. We've had a few people take breaks and some come back after a brief stay away. Raiding has been consistently strong and although we didn't get every heroic boss down, we continuously improved. It's good to log on and see friendly faces and there's been a consistent 8-10 players on during peak times and sometimes up to 20. Hopefully our influx of novices will only add quality members to STC and give us more people to group up with. I'm appreciative of the group we have here and hope that we continue to treat each other and other players with respect. Thank you for all of your contributions to STC and I wish you all Happy Holidays and soon a Happy New Year!

Raiding:

The raid team has completed the first 5 bosses of Antorus. We struggled with the War Council but pulled out a win and moved on to Eonar. I expect that we'll be able to move faster through the bosses with more attempts. Hopefully people are continuing to get upgrades and improve their Concordance levels. These will help to push our DPS and HPS to levels which will make the later bosses go down easier. While the requirement is Concordance 15, the goal is to maximize the Concordance to get all of the Netherlight Crucible buffs. After that, additional Concordance levels are just additional buffs.

Greater Invasions and new quests available in the Antorus Raid are other ways to improve gear. Also please work on upgrading your legendaries to Item Level 1000 for additional buffs.

Welcome to the November WOW meeting. What exciting news we got from Blizzcon. The next expansion, Battle for Azeroth. It's not the direction that I was expecting, but going back to the roots of Warcraft sounds like an exciting direction. Also announced, the next Raid will be released November 28th. I'm looking forward to more news on the expansion in the coming months. What this means for STC, though, is that it's time to keep moving forward either with raiding, guild cooperative activities, and recruiting. We always want to build a stronger and cohesive group and that's certainly true as Legion moves towards it's completion.

As I've said in previous meetings, it's a good time to focus on achievements and working on Alts. I'm hoping to finish working on some reputation grinds as I continue working on my concordance levels. I hope that people continue to group for activities like random heroics and mythics as well as some of the greater invasion points.

Raiding:

The raid team has completed 9 of the 9 bosses in Normal Tomb of Sargeras. Kil'Jaeden is still not an easy kill but he goes down a bit easier now that we know the fight and have additional gear. We have also killed the first four bosses on heroic. After those first four, the bosses get much more difficult.

We're starting to see a little bit of fatigue of the current raid. The good news, though, is that the next one is released in a few weeks on November 28th. I'm looking forward to more research and fighting new bosses.

Please continue to make progress on your Artifacts. We are strongly requesting that all raiders have at least Concordance 15 on their artifacts to help meet the requirements the next raid. There are some catch up mechanics that should make this easier. Concordance levels will help also with Netherlight Crucible which will buff our players. It's important to keep working on Concordance if you want to participate in raids.

I would suggest attacking Greater Invasions as the gear drops can be major upgrades. I've seen Titanforged as high as 950 which will come in handy in the next raid. Using the in-game group finder makes finding groups for both the Lesser and Greater invasions easy.
